[GreenKeys] Another AFSK News Feed

[Harold Hallikainen]

The New York Times changed their web site so my scripts can no longer
fetch articles. I messed with the scripts for a while and finally decided
to look for a simpler source. National Public Radio has a plain text web
site (well, HTML with just text) that made it easy to extract the text. As
I was rewriting the scripts, I discovered XPATH which makes it REAL EASY
to extract stuff out of HTML documents. Amazing stuff!

Anyway, the new feed is at https://w6iwi.org/rtty/audio/npr/ .

The NPR stories tend to be longer than the NYT stories, so the audio file
is currently about 8 hours long. A new one is created every hour, but you
can keep playing the one you started for 10 hours.

Also, I reduced the stop bit to 1 bit time instead of the 1.5 I was
running before. The machines run a bit faster and handle the shorter stop
bit fine (in my testing).

Thanks!
